I just heard<\/a> about this guy working from home who FOOLED his coworkers into thinking he lives in a LUXURY APARTMENT. HOW? By adding a backdrop of a LUXURY APARTMENT<\/a> while he was on his video chats!! And, guess what??? He says<\/a> he was inspired by the PICTURE PHONE in my Playhouse!!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

His name is Andrew Eckel and he’s a software engineer and musician who lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts:<\/strong><\/p>\n\"\"\n

He writes, “The backdrop is a photo I found in a Flickr search for ‘apartment interior’, printed onto six pages and taped together with masking tape in the back.” Bravo, Andrew!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Would you like to know where I got MY inspiration from…???<\/strong>MAD Magazine<\/em>!! This was featured in a 1957 issue. I saw it years later and was inspired to bring it into my Playhouse!! I bet you didn’t know that!! We used a different backdrop for every call for all five seasons. We never repeated one. Many times I had a hat or some kind of prop or both that went with the backdrop. True story!<\/strong><\/p>\n\"\"\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
